Seven-time champions Nigeria’s Flying Eagles have been drawn against tough rivals Egypt, South Africa and Morocco in the group phase of this year’s CAF U20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) slated for Cote d’Ivoire from April 26 to May 11.

The draw, conducted on Thursday in Cairo, Egypt, placed the Flying Eagles group B which many considered the tournament’s ‘Group of Death,’ featuring three former champions.

The Flying Eagles pipped host nation Egypt 1-0 in a group phase match at the last edition of the competition, and must ensure a great start to their campaign in Cote d’Ivoire in order to build confidence for a gritty tournament. Nigeria finished third in Egypt two years ago.

Former Malian player Adama Coulibaly, who was an assistant at the draw conducted inside the CAF headquarters in Egypt on Thursday, said: “There is no doubt that the toughest group is the group B that has Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa and Morocco.”

Hosts Cote d’Ivoire will have to contend with DR Congo, Ghana, Tanzania and the yet-to-emerge representative team of Central Africa zone, in a five-team group A.
